My aim is to provide quality counselling
by assisting people to in identify, understand, and learn to cope with
difficulties in order to reduce associated distress. I provide evidence-based
treatment, working in a collaborative manner, focussing on strengths
and setting realistic goals, with the overall aim of
developing a treatment plan that best suits individual needs.

I have over
fourteen years’ experience working as a clinical psychologist, with
10 of these working in major public teaching hospitals
in both clinical and senior management roles. I have treated people
both individually and in groups for a variety of problems including
depression, anxiety, OCD,
and addictive disorders.
My experience has included the development and provision of
training programs for student psychologists, clinical psychologists,
counsellors, and other
health professionals. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and
my
professional memberships and associations include the
Australian Psychological
Society College of Clinical Psychologists, Adjunct Fellow with the
University Of Western Sydney School Of Psychology,
and The Australian Centre for
Addiction Research.

As a clinical psychologist, I am registered provider with Medicare,
WorkCover, and major health care
funds. Clients are eligible for Medicare rebates if referred under a
GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, prepared by a GP, Psychiatrist, or
Paediatrician under the Governments 'Better Access to Mental Health' initiative.
Bulk Billing services are available - generally clients referred by their
GP can be bulk billed (no
out of pocket) if on a pension or receiving unemployed
benefits.
